Early Buzz: Prince, Beatles, sharks and more news
Hi again! I hope your week is going smoothly. Last night I stayed in, ordered Indian food and watched the HBO documentary Americans in Bed, in which a bunch of couples are interviewed while in pajamas under the covers. It's not bad, and parts are surprisingly emotional, like the scenes with a sweet elderly couple. Catch a repeat or see it on demand.
